Editor's Note: Political Ads on The Kitchn?!$#%@&

Today is a very hot day for political ads everywhere, and we are seeing a lot of groups trying to place them through our Google Ad Network, which is self service. While we respect the political viewpoints of others and have our own, we do not believe in supporting political ads on our sites, and have been working hard to keep up with the Google ad buys and block those that are political in any way...

We have not been 100% successful, so you may have seen and may still see some political ads, particularly in California and in other hotbed states. This does not mean that we are supporting them, or even know about them yet. We are continuing to monitor our Google account and thanks for all your emails alerting us to the fact.
